Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG

There are many polymechanics in the company. They work their tasks clearly and well.

I see potential for improvement on craftsman from, and also aud the computer work.

Very nice friendly and helpful staff. Flexible working hours

Unfortunately, concerns of new employees are not taken seriously. Very poor leadership, or in some cases no person at all who should lead and actually be the first contact person. The working time model is flexible, but everywhere you feel the enormous pressure of minus hours, (obligatory compensation of bridge days). I experienced many, too many dismissals during the time I was employed. Rather low wages.

The products are brilliant. The Corona measures were disastrous

The internal courses are often not even allowed to attend if it has no use for the supervisor. Even if you ask about certain things because you are not informed, you often do not get an answer. If you express your opinion, you will feel it afterwards.

You‘re on your own and can work independent. individual responsibility

The Management and the culture. Outdated and unfair. HR and IT.

Image: Aircraft & Services are known worldwide for their high quality. The name Pilatus has a high prestige. Pilatus treats older MA very fairly. The Migros canteen is practical and inexpensive. But: The food has been getting worse and worse since Covid. Learners are highly valued and strongly encouraged.

The motivation of many is currently suffering greatly. There is a lack of modern leadership. The style of many "managers" is dusty and of yesterday. There is no visible and tangible strategy, no vision. Employees & team leaders receive very little information, there is uncertainty. The top management is usually on a dive. Criticism of top management is not welcome. There is a lack of personnel in many important areas. Many top people left by themselves in the last 2 years. The rest of the top performers get more and more work assigned, while some low performers enjoy a comfortable job under the radar. Fatal for motivation: there are little or no consequences for low performers. The percentage of women is far below 20%. Hardly any diversity in management positions.

Great products, lot of knowledgeable employees keen on sharing their knowledge.

The management style (patriarchal) does not fit a mordern society and should evolve. Internal communication definitvely requires drastical improvments (wrt to new positions, company news etc).

Top company with potential?????????????????? Always evolving???????????????????

Maybe a little better from HR to MA, more further training?????????????????

Two-class society. I don't have much of a chance for advancement. Cohesion lean.

Many cooks spoil the porridge. A clear division of responsibilities is necessary here. Company inventory partly worthy of renewal. Suggestions for improvement should be heard and not avoided. There is also room for improvement.

Good engineering department. Experienced engineers, they prodce well designed aircraft.

Awful management and it is a face must fit culture. Don't be such cheapskates.
